For Thunderbird, I moved the large mailbox file from one node to another and I had my config and old e-mails. I'm using both Qemualtor and QPC2 under Wine. I don't use QPC2 that much, but it works when I use it. I used Lubuntu because I like LXDE desktop environment. Other distributions might have it too. Tim Swenson ___ QL-Users Mailing List
Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 <> W7
Aye Colin, I think the problem is when Windows goes into sleep/screen saver mode and subsequently is woken up. Not just switching from one program to the other. At least that's how I understood it anyway. Happy New Year. Cheers, Norm. On 4 January 2016 20:25:14 GMT+00:00, Colin McKay wrote: >I use QPC2 on a laptop running W7.

[Ql-Users] QPC2 <> W7
I use QPC2 on a laptop running W7. At the same time I have Autocad running, and I frequently switch between the two. Sometimes I minimise one program before awakening the other, and sometimes I open one on top of the other. I have not had any difficulties. The only other factor is that the laptop is never connected to the Internet. Colin McKay 34 Taylor Avenue Tel/fax 01505 70 4471 Kilbarchan Johnstone Renfrewshire PA10 2LS ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Does QPC2 still work under current versions of Wine? My only valid Linux installation ATM is on RasPi - too slow to be worth testing. Almost every year I reconsider whether its worth emigrating to Linux, but its just such a hassel. And tho different, to me there seems to be as much to hate in both systems. (Apple can hardly be considered an option for grownups and has silly hardware restrictions.) Makes me wonder whether I might outlive QDOS/SMSQ Per ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Recently Windoze 10 has started messing with QPC2: When I put my machine to sleep with QPC2 in fullscreen mode in the background it wakes up with QPC2 in a catatonic state: No display, no response. Anyone suffering the same? Any known remedies? Per I have had the same problem with W$7 but not recently. Having QPC2 open full screen (windowed) could have been a factor. I now always buttonise QPC2 before letting W$ fall asleep or slumber, which is also more energy efficient. I also did find that having the keyboard set to SMSQ/E in the config screen doesn't agree well with sleep mode. When W$ is then woken the change is that the QPC2 keys produce rubbish, then the only solution is to kill QPC2. When set to WINDOWS keys this is not the case. I have no experience with W$10, yet. Bob Thanks Bob. The thing is that everything worked fine until it suddenly stopped working (consistently) for a period of a few weeks. It hasnt happened again since the day I posted to this list so perhaps you guys have been praying/meditating very hard, bombarding my system with positive vibes ;) in which case my thanks are implied to the degree appropriate in each instance..
